Nutritional Summary
The product receives an 'AVERAGE' rating. Per serving, it is low in sodium and saturated fat, and contains zero trans fat. However, its primary ingredients are refined wheat flour (maida) and sugar, which offer limited nutritional value. The fortification with vitamins and minerals is a positive point, but it doesn't fully compensate for the highly processed nature of the biscuit and the presence of artificial flavors.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Frozen Biscuit-Banana Pops
Crush 2-3 Milk Shakti biscuits into a coarse powder. Dip a banana in plain yogurt, then roll it in the biscuit crumble. Freeze for an hour for a quick and tasty snack.
Health Benefits
This recipe pairs the biscuit with protein-rich yogurt and potassium-rich banana for a more balanced treat.
Quick Shrikhand Tart
Create a base by mixing crushed Milk Shakti biscuits with a little melted butter and press into a small bowl. Top with a layer of shrikhand (sweet strained yogurt). Garnish with chopped pistachios and saffron strands.
Health Benefits
Offers a healthier, portion-controlled dessert combining the biscuit with probiotic-rich shrikhand and healthy fats from nuts.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents [503(ii), 500(ii)] and emulsifier [472e], are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption. The use of artificial flavors is noted, which is common in processed foods but less desirable than natural alternatives.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Contains 7 Vitamins' and 'Contains 2 Minerals' are factually supported by the nutrition label. However, the branding 'Milk Shakti' (Milk Power) and the claim 'Biscuits with the goodness of milk' may overstate the health benefits, as milk solids constitute only 3.3% of the product, while the primary ingredients are refined flour and sugar. This can create a misleading health halo, suggesting the product is healthier than it actually is.
